It seems like such a long time ago that I attended and wrote about the Stouffer’s Let’s Fix Dinner event and challenge. Stouffers has put together a video of the experience – check it out!
This month, I also have 5 10-packs of coupons to give away to 5 Mom’s Favorite Stuff readers.
To enter, check out the Let’s Fix Dinner website and leave us a comment with your goal (number of meals to eat together as a family). We’ll pick 5 winners randomly. Contest ends 8/11 at 11:59 pm – US Residents only.

My goal for all of us is 4 nights a week because of my hubby’s work hours. But the little one and I eat together 7 days a week, which I love!
I have never had a product that Stouffers made that wasn’t delicious. I have set a goal to eat dinner at least 5 times a week as a family.

I have set a goal of nine meals together for the week. This includes either a breakfast and lunch along with dinner each night!

Our goal is to eat five meals a week as a family. It’s tough though, because my husband gets home from work fairly late.

My realistic goal is 4 nights a week.
My goal was five nights a week.
I would love to try for 7 days a week, but we are all on different schedules, so I can only mange 2-3 days for all of us together.
My realistic goal is 5 nights. My husband has to travel sometimes, so I had to factor that in. I think it’s the most important thing, to eat together.
I’m gonna go for 5…

I usually try to eat a couple meals a week with my family
My goal is 5 meals because my family has such diverse schedules, but it’s a good place to start and hopefully won’t be too difficult to accomodate everyone’s work/school schedule
We try to eat together each night. it is just the two of us. it isn’t quite the very very busy time for my husband so usually he is home early enough so that I am not starving.
our goal is 7 meals all together a week- we adjust schedules if possible
My goal is 7 nights. We usually get 6 nights, but it would really be nice to have everyone eat dinner together each night. Thanks so much.

My goal is 7 .

I made my goal for 6 nights a week. We only have around 3 now where we all sit down at the table to eat.
My goal is to try to stick with what we have been doing..I am lucky and usually have 6-7 dinners a week together!
We usually eat 6-7 meals together a week. This works great for us and will remain my goal.
We eat about 4 meals together, so my goal is to eat 5 from now on. Thanks!
The goal is always 5 dinners together each week. On weekends we also usually have a big breakfast together as well.
I have a goal of 5 dinners together each week. Weekdays should be family dinner time in our eyes.
My goal is 5 per week. The truth is we eat most dinners together.
I would say 5 nights a week is an attainable goal.
Our goal is 7 days a week and we manage it most of the time. Occasionally my husband can’t make it home for dinner but I always eat with the kids at the table
It’s very difficult for my husband and I to have dinner together because of his hectic work schedule but I’m going to try and set a goal of 5 nights this week for dinner together.
I set a goal of 7, which we usually meet
My goal is 6 – I know there’s almost always at least one day when it’s not going to work out!
.-= Jennifer S.´s last blog ..Challenge – It’s The Little Things =-.
4 nights at least. Thanks.
5 to six nights. Thanks.
My wife and I work different shifts, so eating together 3 times a week would be great.
7 days a week – I’m solo!
Our goal is 5, leaving the weekends free for dinners out, but in reality it ends up 3-4 because sometimes neither one of us feels like cooking!
Our goal is 5 as that would save money and let us spend time together but leave the weekend free for running around.
Our goal is 7 nights
My goal is 5 days but with everyones busy schedules I’m lucky if we get 2-3. But were trying
DH’s kids are with us 5 days a week, and we eat dinner together 4 or 5. But we do eat breakfast together every morning.
During baseball season my goal is 3 but during the fall and winter we strive for 4-5
Our goal is 3 meals a week. Sometimes with everything going on we don’t even get that….but we are working on it.
My goal is to eat dinner every night together. We may eat at some weird times in order to have everyone there but we make it work!

Good thing I’m entering this today and not 2 days ago! On Friday, I would have said 7 days a week. But my husband’s schedule is changing and now conflicts with my daughter’s voice lessons, so we can only eat together 6 nights a week.
I chose 7. Gotsta shoot for the moon!!!!!
4 would be a good start!
My goal is 6 nights.
My goal is 6 nights a week, which I think it quite doable.
Our goal is 5 nights which we are very close to with eating together 3-4 nights right now.
My husband’s work schedule is erratic, so we’re going to try for four nights.
My goal is 5 and we usually are able to achieve that.
My husband and I are married 60 years this year, so we live alone. Our children do not live close to us, so we keep busy with friends, and volunteer “jobs”. We eat all breakfasts together as well as dinners. Most lunches, too. So I’d say out of 21 meals each week, we probably eat 18 together. That’s what happens folks, when you get old!! We are both 82 years old, and not slowing down YET!
Our family’s goal is that we’ll have dinner together 7 days a week. We’ve always been that way, barring emergencies and extraordinary circumstances.
Except when my husband is working, we eat all our meals together.
My goal is 7. Wish me luck!
My goal is 5 nights a week. We usually eat together most nights, but work and other obligations cut in sometimes.
I could sure use these. We only make about 4.
I set a goal for 1 day
6 nights a week
We have a goal to have dinner together as a family 5 nights a week.
my goal is to eat 5 meals together each week
I work nights and the kids work days, so we try to maximize our time together or weekends.
Our goals is 5 nights a week.
We were hoping for six nights a week, and most of the time we do get that, but sometimes we are unable to, especially during the school year because it gets so busy around here. This is a quality program with a quality goal; kudos to Stouffer’s.
Our goal is to eat five meals a week as a family. Not too hard right now because my kids are still young!
thanks for sponsoring this.
2kidsblogger(at)gmail(dot)com
it’s not much of a goal since we already do it: 7
My goal is 2 nights a week. That may sound low, but DH & I work alternating schedules to cover childcare and usually only have 1 day off together a week at the most. Thanks! thebubbledies(at)gmail(dot)com
.-= Simone´s last blog ..Tape up a win =-.
my goal is 4 days
our goal is at least 5 – try to make 7!

Since I live by myself, obviously my whole household eats together all of the time and I always keep a supply of Stouffer’s products on hand for times when I want something good without taking the time and effort to make it from scratch. These would definitely come in handy.
My weekly goal is 4, I work 3 nights of the week, those nights are always “fend for yourself ” nights.
Everyone has such a hectic schedule, so my goal is 4 nights a week.

We always eat together, so my goal is 7 nights a week. We only miss that a few times a year.
I honestly never had a goal. Just sort of meandered along. But if I was to choose a goal, it would be 9 meals. I love dinner and weekend breakfast rituals.
6 nights a week~Thanks for the chance.

My hubby works 2nd shift so we can go for the 2 on the weekends
We have set a goal of 6 nights per week.
i sure could use this prize
our goal is 3 nights because right now it’s at zero!
We strive for 7, but practices and games cut it down to 4 or 5.
My goal is 7 days a week unless my husband is travellling for work.
My goal is 3 times a week!
My goal is 8–divided over lunches, breakfasts, and dinners.
We eat dinner as a family every night so 7.
All 7 dinner meals are important to us!
Depends on our work schedules but we try for at least 5 a week.
5 meals a week.
Our family goal of having meals together is eleven – that’s breakfast and lunch on the weekends and dinner each night. As a mother I would love for that number to be higher, but as it is I am grateful that we typically have at least half of our meals together.
Knowing our schedules, a realistic goal for us is three days.
I do fix my family dinner almost every day of the month but my goal would be 3 nights a week cause we spend too much time together haha!
Our goal is to eat dinner together at least four times a week which is difficult due to our work schedules
Our goal is to eat dinner together 5 days a week. I think this goal is achievable.

I love Stouffers. If you have to have pre-made products Stouffers is the best!!
My goal is to eat dinner together every night.
my wife and I are up to seven days a week
I live by myself so I don’t have a family meal goal, but I love the convenience of Stouffer’s!
I would like to try these.
My goal is 5-6 dinners per week together. I think that’s realistic. I see a nice Stouffer’s dinner that I will have to look for at my local grocery. I really want to try the chicken enchiladas with cheese and rice. Thanks.
I have been participating in this stouffers promotion regularly since the launch. The goal for us is 7. And we have managed to keep it so far since the begining. We tend to enjoy dinner together, it lets us all catch up on one another’s day and we keep the tv off, put on the answering machine and all just focus on each other! I buy stouffers meals as my lunch for work, so this would be a great time and money saver for me. Thanks for the chance! Hope you’ll follow my blog when you get a chance. (Ascending Butterfly)

My goal is 6. We are at the start of sports season for your children. So this will be a challenge but we can do it.

I signed up several weeks ago with the goal of 5 nights a week. We usually do it, too.
I’m aiming for all 7! Thanks!
Our goal has been 5 and this summer it was easy with us getting 7 most of the time. Once school starts though it’s harder with so many activities. But we’ll still shoot for 5!!
thanks.
My goal is 6 nights a week. With soccer practice around the corner I know we will have to miss nights but 6 is a reasonable goal for our family. Thanks!

My goal is to eat 5 meals together a week as a family. Thank you
My goal would be 2 meals together since 1 is all we can manage with everything the way it runs
My goal is 7 nights a week! It’s so important to spend that time with your family.
My goal number is and has always been 7! for the most part we do get 7 meals together every week, but they aren’t always necessarily home-cooked dinners lol.
.-= prplrush´s last blog ..Knowing (2009) DVD Giveaway! =-.
My goal is at least 6 nights a week!! We LOVE mostly all the Stouffers meals!!
I love stouffers mac and cheese. And our goal is 5 nights a week but it is hard because my husband works 3rd shift.
My goal is 6 nights a week with a night out of the house. We love ALL the Stouffers meals. We have them all the time. I can’t really choose one.
my goal is 6 nights a week, It was 2 times a month, but now i manage to do about 5 nights a week. Three of those nights i have to use a crockpot to help me get my goal reached.
The lets fix dinner thing is great it really made me think about how important it really is to eat together, share together, and just laugh

My realistic goal is 3 or 4 a night. It’s hard, because of the hours I work.
5 nights a week
love the stouffer lasagna thank you
My goal is 6, and it’s normally right at 6. Sometimes 5. Thanks!
We eat together every night.
My goal for me and my kids is 7 nights a week, but for all of us including my husband, it’s 3 nights a week since the other nights he doesn’t get off work in time to be home for dinner anyhow.
My goal was 7 nights but our family is working 3 diff shifts, sometimes 4 so I consider that everyone who is not working eats together a success.

I thought I was being unrealistic when we set a goal of 3x’s per week.
Goal is 5 dinners together.
Thanks for the giveaway!
we are currently around 3 so i took the challenge for 5 nights
My goal is to start turning off the tv and turn on some nice tunes and sitting down w/ the family during dinner 7 days a week.
My goal is 4 night but I don’t think that will happen because of the erratic work schedules.
My goal is 7 days but sometimes because of different schedules we don’t make that goal. I make sure that there is a homecooked meal for whoever doesn’t make it in time for dinner.
My goal is 5!
We try to do 5… and usually succeed. Saturday is kind of a free for all so it is rare that we all eat together then, and Wednesdays are sports nite, so everyone takes care of themselves again. Most other days, we all sit down and eat together, even if it is in front of the tv sometimes
Thanks for the super contest!
My goal is every day in the week
My family goal is to eat at least 5 meals a week as a family and it’s some times hard when the hubby works so late at times.
